Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a new way to manage the delivery of computer applications to remote devices. It combines the concepts of consolidation and distribution, using a single deployment and management policy. The invention includes a delivery platform for delivering application resources, servers using those resources, and remote appliances using those resources. The delivery platform can deliver both executable and static resources, and can be installed on a server or a remote appliance. The invention also includes a communication channel for wide area network communication. The technical effects of the invention include improved efficiency and flexibility in delivering managed services to remote devices.

Problems solved by technology

However, total cost of ownership (TCO) considerations suggest higher degree of consolidation, wherein operations such as installation, updates, backups, or the like are carried out in a single location, thus requiring less time and manpower resources.
However, this approach does not enable the activation of any application-aware computational process in the remote locations, i.e. a remote location is not provided with any knowledge regarding the application.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a novel method and apparatus for managing the provisioning of services from a server to one or more remote locations. The prior art disclosed a method and apparatus for optimized and secured reflection of network services in remote locations with multiple physical footprints and points of service in as many remote locations as required. In the context of the current invention, a footprint, also referred to as software footprint, is the physical presence of a computational activity required to provide a service. A software footprint on a computing platform can vary along the range stretching between a fully installed machine, which is computing platform, having the application fully installed so that no access to another part of the application installed on a different computing platform is required, and a software component running on a different computing platform and returning results to the comp...

Abstract

An apparatus for delivering managed services to remote locations, the apparatus comprising a delivery policy, and a repository containing pairs of executables and pairs of configurations intended for delivery platforms and for remote appliances. The apparatus further comprises a delivery platform, responsible for delivering the executables and the configurations to one or more servers and one or more remote appliances.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present invention relates to International patent application serial number PCT / IL02 / 00991, titled APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZED AND SECURED REFLECTION OF NETWORK SERVICES TO REMOTE LOCATIONS, filed on Dec. 9, 2002, the entire content thereof is herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for implementing a hybrid approach towards consolidation or distributing computer applications in general, and to unified deployment and management of applications in remote locations, in particular.[0004]2. Discussion of the Related Art[0005]Continuous innovation in the information technology (IT) industry creates varying trends of distribution and consolidation of IT infrastructure and application. When mainly mainframe computing platforms were used, the ruling approach was consolidation. Later, when personal computers became more available, the approach ...
